Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk (1443 21 May 1524) was an English soldier and statesman, and son of John Howard, 1st Duke of Norfolk by his first wife, Katherine de Moleyns, the daughter of William de Moleyns and Anne Whalesborough.As the Earl of Surrey, Howard fought for King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 where he was wounded and his father killed; following this he was imprisoned in the Tower of London for several years before having some titles and estates restored. He continued in the service of the Tudor dynasty. Beginning in 1497, Howard and the English repelled Scottish assaults at Norham Castle, a stronghold of the Bishopric of Durham, among others. In 1502, a treaty was signed between Scotland and England ending hostilities for a time, and Howard was able to rest from his military career for a while. He was appointed Lieutenant General of the North.
